The future creative professionals study at IED Barcelona
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Developing interactive applications, researching new mobility systems for 2035
and designing sustainable wearable fashion are just some of the projects
opportunities offered on the courses taught at IED Barcelona Design University
BARCELONA, SPAIN--(Marketwired - Apr 19, 2017) - Barcelona is a city that
promotes new technologies and sustainability. It is committed to the economy and
activities in advanced services and offers interesting business and investment
opportunities that require new skills from the labour market. IED Barcelona
Design University works with companies and existing initiatives to identify
current needs and train the professionals of the future in the tools they
require to promote, develop and manage innovative projects.
Barcelona is one of the top five cities in Europe for start-ups and holds the
5(th) place in the EU start-up ranking. By itself, Catalonia receives over half
of Spain's investments in emerging companies. This success is due to the number
of trade shows and international conferences held here in the areas of
innovation and technology, such as the Mobile World Congress (MWC), 4YFN,
Barcelona Startupweek and the IOT Solutions World Congress.
A comprehensive overview shows that at this time training in new methodologies
is the key to professional success. IED Barcelona teaches its students to
understand how to analyse the technological and entrepreneurial environment,
identify areas for improvement and propose competitive solutions. To do so, it
makes use of methodologies that spark innovation, such as Design Thinking and
Lego® Serious Play.
In order to present the trends developed by its students, the school actively
participates in the city's initiatives. For example, IED took part in the latest
edition of Moblie World Congress, at which the latest research into fashion
wearables for YoMo Festival was on display and interactive applications were
presented at the electronic festival Sonar +D.
Barcelona is also the venue for the Smart City World Congress. In 2015 it was
named a Global Smart City by Juniper Research and in 2014 it won the iCapital -
European Capital of Innovation award for its management of technological
resources, transport, energy and sustainable services. Mobility is a key factor
in developing smart cities, so IED Barcelona creates designs that offer new
transportation systems for the cities of the future like the projects designed
in collaboration with SEAT.
Another feature of the modern day company structure is the multidisciplinary
team. Mixed groups of professionals contribute to the development of more
effective, creative and innovative proposals. For this reason, the school
cooperates on international projects with other universities, including ESADE
Business School and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. One example is the
Challenge Based Innovation (CBI) initiative, in which engineering, design and
business students offer solutions to real problems in collaboration with the
European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
With Barcelona as their framework for action, students have the opportunity to
experience the world of work as it really is and see the new role that creative
professionals need to play today. IED offers a unique experience for sharing and
building a solid, forward-looking career, backed by the best professionals from
the sector and the latest trends in innovation.
